From securing a complete U.S.-b

Data centers are powering the AI revolution—but who's paying the bill? In this episode of Energy News Beat, host Stu Turley digs into a $29.4 billion question that's about to hit your electricity bill. Federal regulators just rejected most of PJM's plan to make data centers bring their own power, and the consequences are staggering. Your electric bill could jump by $26.87 in June 2025, and that's just the beginning. With capacity costs skyrocketing 46% over four auctions, Americans are waking up
